I've just started back into (hopefully) (finally) achieving my fitness goals. I'm a SAHM with an almost 16 yo high functioning Asperger's boy & a 13 yo girl. My family means everything to me, which in the past has meant that I always took care of them & didn't take care of me. Except to eat when I was upset.

It's been really hard for me to get to the point of really taking care of myself & I'm really afraid of failing me again. I'm hoping that joining this community will help me to keep motivated.

Thanks for listening.

    Hi :smile:

    I'm a SAHM mum to six of my seven kids. Four boys aged 20, 16, 15 and 5. Three girls aged 18 and 14 (twins). Miss18 moved out.

    Mr15 and Mr5 are both Aspies. Mr5 was officially diagnosed two weeks ago, but we've known since he was 2yrs old.

    I've been with MyFitnessPal for a few months now. I've lost about 20 lb so far.
    It's a long road, but it's worth the effort.

    Feel free to add me.

    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    Hello everyone I decided to restart again, hopefully with will power I can stick to it this time and achieve my weight goal, Its just so hard after your 30's to loose weight, i have a 18 year old daughter and a 20 month old boy, so im always cooking for them and always tasting the foods.

    You all can totally do this. I am a SAHM of 3 boys (8, 9, &13) and have lost 28 pounds since September. I am pretty much at the weight I want to be but am trying to tone up. Feel free to add me I am here everyday.
